Based on the output of lspci -v I'm using a `AR5006EG` WLAN card in a ASUS X51R notebook. After adding the driver from the archive I downloaded form the ASUS website the webinterface told me, that "It seems that your device is either not present or not supported by the installed driver(s)". The output of `dmesg` tells me that the driver tries to load `ntoskrnl.exe`, `hal.dll` and other Windows-DLLs: [ 1597.252000] driverloader: stack=8192/64/0 REGPARM SMP [ 1597.256000] usbcore: registered new interface driver driverloader [ 1597.428000] driverloader: ar5211.sys: 0xf97a8000..0xf98293c0 entry = f97dd2a0 (pbase = 0x10000) [ 1597.428000] driverloader: /var/lib/driverloader/ntoskrnl.exe: unable to open (err=-2) [ 1597.428000] driverloader: ar5211.sys: export not found: ZwDeleteKey (ntoskrnl.exe) [ 1597.428000] driverloader: /var/lib/driverloader/ntoskrnl.exe: unable to open (err=-2) [ 1597.428000] driverloader: ar5211.sys: export not found: ZwCreateKey (ntoskrnl.exe) [ 1597.428000] driverloader: /var/lib/driverloader/ntoskrnl.exe: unable to open (err=-2) [ 1597.428000] driverloader: ar5211.sys: export not found: IoOpenDeviceRegistryKey (ntoskrnl.exe) [ 1597.428000] driverloader: unable to load "ar5211.sys" (-6) I tried to copy these files from my Windows XP installation to `/var/lib/driverloader` and reloading the driver by `rmmod driverloader` and `modprobe driverloader`. Afterwards my system freezed and the next reboot stopped with a "Kernel panic" error. Removing the driverloader-modules by `dldrconfig --remove` in a rescue system made the system booting again. I'd like to know whether it is necessary to use these Windows system files or if this is a bug. -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?
